Dolphins Part Ways With GM Chris Grier as Champ Kelly Takes Interim Role

Owner Stephen Ross said change could not wait, elevating Champ Kelly before Tuesday’s trade deadline.

Overview

  • Miami announced the mutual separation Friday morning, less than a day after a 28-6 loss to the Ravens dropped the team to 2-7.
  • Ross said the organization will begin a search for a permanent general manager and emphasized the need to improve starting now.
  • Kelly, previously a senior personnel executive and a former interim GM with the Raiders, will manage near-term roster decisions with the Nov. 4 deadline approaching.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to remain in his role through the end of the season, according to multiple reports.
  • Grier had been with Miami since 2000 and GM since 2016, overseeing three playoff appearances without a win as the franchise’s playoff victory drought reached a league-long 25 years.
